Enteric fermentation
In Sweden, the sub-sector Enteric fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 3.32 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 7.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (3.69 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 10%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 3.06 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.
What is part of this sector? Emissions produced during digestive processes (burping & flatulence) of farm animals such as cows, pigs, goats, poultry, sheep, horses and deer.
This sub-sector accounts for 44.9% of Agriculture emissions in Sweden.
